off. This will cause the plant to grow stocky and branch like a tree. The second year, 
it is a good plan to allow the new canes to get 18 inches to 2 feet high before nipping badk. 
Trim out the dead or old fruiting wood each year after the last picking and burn it up. 
Trim back the ends of the canes about one-third early in the spring of each year, if 
necessary to use stakes or wires, tie the canes to the stakes or wires very early in spring 
before the leaves start. If liable to winterkill bend the canes over to almost a horizontal 
position and hold with stones or clods and partly cover with earth, removing same in early 
spring allowing them to assume an upright position. 
Start the cultivator as soon as the plants are set out and hoe in about the plants until 
the surface is level. Keep clean of weeds and grass by frequent hoeings and horse cul¬ 
tivation. Much of the work can be done with a one-horse plow, especially early in spring; 
and by the use of the one-horse cultivator for the balance of the season. In the fruiting 
season, do not run the cultivator so close that‘it brushes off the berries, but mulch the 
plants up under the bushes with straw or marsh hay, to keep down the weeds and the soil 
moist, and run the cultivator just in the middles. Be sure to get alter them early in the 
spring with the horse and plow, and clean out about the hills with the spading fork and 
hand hoe. If done early before the ground settles, you can do it much easier than you can 
after the grass and weeds have begun to grow and the roots have made a sod almost im¬ 
possible to subdue. If properly handled and annually fertilized with about 500 to 1500 lbs. 
of good commercial fertilizer to the acre, raspberries can be kept fruitful In the same 
patch for several years. It takes in round numbers about two to three thousand plants to 
set an acre of raspberries.

that gives it distinction. Some do not like 
it but most people think it is the finest that 
can be imagined. We think the Cuthbert 
superior to anything in the raspberry line 
when made into canned fruit, eaten fresh 
or in shortcake. Our supply of plants is 
very large and they are free from root gall.

Idaho Everbearing Raspberry. Was found 
growing in an old family garden in the 
State of Idaho, where it showed its su¬ 
periority most markedly. It is not such a 
rampant grower as the Cuthbert and does 
not incumber the ground with useless plants, 
but the plants are sturdy, strong growers, 
making large upright canes which are abun¬ 
dantly able to hold up the enormous crop 
of fruit without staking. The plants are 
Cnthbert. This is the variety most gener¬ 
ally cultivated. The canes are very thrifty 
growers, upright in shape, light yellow in 
color and generally quite hardy. It does 
exceedingly well when well cultivated, but 
if the young suckers are allowed to get 
possession of the ground and the patch is 
not cultivated, they soon winterkill and 
become an unsightly object. They must be 
kept strictly in hills or very narrow rows 
and all suckers between the hills and rows 
destroyed. When well tended, a Cuthbert 
raspberry patch is a thing of beauty as 
well as a very paying proposition. 
The berries are large, deep red in color, 
oblong in shape and firm enough to stand 
shipment to distant markets in pint baskets. 
It is the flavor of the Cuthbert raspberry
